I was thinking that it would save a lot of heart ache and trouble when trying to find a great date. Especially if the person has a lot of faults that others find offensive. Got the idea from a commercial. A man shows up at the door with flowers, woman answers door, tells guy to wait. Next scene she's going to her computer, does some typing, goes back to door. She says "Tom" he says "Yes", she then slaps him on the face and slams the door shut.

She went on-line and found out he was a bad choice for a date.

Oh well, didn't think of any negatives about it. So it's a no go. Like another pos says, one persons frog is someone else's prince charming.

So PLEASE don't get me wrong, I'm not an evil person, just didn't think everything through.

I really wish you hadn't deleted/edited your first post because it makes all the following posts nonsensical. You had an idea, you threw it in the ring, and other people didn't like it. So what? No harm done. Now that you've thought more and seen other people's perspectives on it, you thought better of it. That's fine! Not every idea a person comes up with is going to be a winner and it doesn't mean you're a bad person.

But PLEASE don't go deleting a post again! It's actually kinda rude when you think about it - it makes it look like you don't care that people took the time to consider what you said and took the time to respond.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

I'm glad you revised your thinking about this, Rev, because imagine you were the guy with the flowers and you got that slap in the face coming from nowhere. It's the woman having to looking at a computer to figure this out which is a real bad date, not the guy.
